Compliance sweep targets farm wells in southern Minnesota

2015-03-14 04:36:42| Livestock - Topix.net

Concerned that large swine feedlots in southern Minnesota are pumping millions of gallons of groundwater without proper permits, the state Department of Natural Resources has launched a compliance sweep of the region's growing livestock industry. A team of hydrologists is focusing first on Dodge, Freeborn and Blue Earth counties because of indications that some hog farmers are surpassing the state's 1 million-gallon-a-year threshold without holding the required permits, according to Dan Girolamo, a DNR supervisor in Waterville.
